CEO Optimism for 2015

Vistage gathers quarterly insights from CEOs across the country. The Confidence Index for the end of 2014 had a positive view for this new year, but as always, there are some hot topics weighing heavy on the minds of American business leaders. If you’re not talking about tax policy and health reform, you probably should be. Keeping up on local government issues may not be top of mind for you, but in my member groups it’s something we work to keep each other apprised of. It’s also a great way to benchmark your success against others. We are selective about industries and ensure we don’t have competitive organizations in a group, and yet members say it’s the diversity of lessons learned that provides so much of the value.
